Is 4chan the perfect Pirate Bay poster child to justify wider UK site-blocking?

The free internet might be gone in the next decade. Probably time to buy a few hard drives and do some archiving. I don't just mean piracy. Articles, blogs, anything you find precious.

It's a good time to get an RSS reader and build some direct connections to your sources. They're coming for the "aggregators" next.

rss is dead. and aggregating won't be your main issue anyway.

RSS is the technological backbone that enables the distribution and subscription of podcasts...which by the way is massive at the moment.

As others have stated, plenty of websites have RSS feeds.

That used to be the case few years ago. Now it seems that all popular podcasts are hidden inside commercial services such as Spotify.
